Just reduce your fridge's energy use - easy with our five fridge energy tips. Should be music to your ears.The Benefits Energy savings Gwyneth would approve of. Try these tips out with your current fridge to use 30% less energy (and possibly even less) to power it. More cash for concert merch. Opting for an Energy Star fridge, for example, can save you $55 per year. Personally SpeakingBeing the eco-Samaritans we are, we do our part to up our SF office fridge's efficiency by keeping it full of organic booze. Wanna Try? Fill It Up - your fridge and freezer are more efficient when full (just not so full that cold air can't circulate). And in a power outage, they'll hold the temp for twice as long as if they were half full. Use Glass for Storage - store your food in glass, which keeps it colder longer - and as we mentioned in #1, colder food means the fridge keeps its cool easier. Vacuum the Coils - a couple times a year, clean off the dust on the coils at the bottom of your fridge (usually hidden behind a removable panel near the fridge's base), since buildup makes the coils work a lot harder. You'll use up to 6% less energy. (Just unplug it so you don't fry yourself.) Move It - if your fridge is near a sunny window or your oven (and you can actually change the way your kitchen is set up), move it to a cooler spot; for every degree above 70 degrees surrounding your fridge, it'll use 2.5% more energy. Replace It - get an Energy Star-qualified fridge - they use at least 15% less energy than the current federal standard. Fridges with bottom- or top-mounted freezers use about 20% less than side-by-side models.
